	<h1>Context Menu</h1>
	<p>
		The <strong>Context Menu</strong> is a pop-up menu that appears
		whenever you click a file or a folder inside the CKFinder interface
		with the right mouse button, use the <em>Menu/Application</em> key on
		your keyboard, or the <em>(Ctrl+)Shift+F10</em> keyboard shortcut. It
		gives you access to file browser operations that are available for a
		given type of object.
	</p>
	<p>
		The context menu can also be opened by clicking the down arrow icon (<img
			src="../../files/images/CKFinder_menu_arrow.png" width="9" height="7"
			alt="" />) that is available in some environments or in mobile
		browsers next the name of the active folder or in the file boxes, as
		visible in the figure below.
	</p>

			height="251" alt="CKFinder context menu with helper arrows" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>Each context menu consists of a series of options (commands)
		that can be selected in order to perform a specific operation that
		they are associated with.</p>
	<p>
		<span class="info">Note:</span> Some context menu options may be
		disabled (and thus grayed out), depending on CKFinder settings
		enforced by your system administrator.
	</p>
	<h2>Using the Context Menu</h2>
	<p>
		In order to perform an operation listed in the context menu, click it
		with the left mouse button. You can also move up and down the context
		menu with the <em>Up</em> and <em>Down Arrow</em> keys or the <em>Shift+Tab</em>
		and <em>Tab</em> combinations. Once an option is highlighted, you can
		activate it with the <em>Space</em> or <em>Enter</em> button. If an
		option is grayed out, it is unavailable unless some pre-conditions are
		met (e.g. you have system permissions to make specific changes to a
		file or folder).
	</p>
	<h2>Available Menus</h2>
	<p>The menu is context-sensitive which means that the options
		displayed in it depend on the object that you select. The following
		are the menus that you may encounter while working with a standard
		CKFinder installation.</p>
	<h3>Folder Context Menu</h3>
	<p>
		It appears when you click a folder in the <strong><a
			href="003.html">Folders Pane</a> </strong> with the right mouse button (or use
		the keyboard shortcuts described above):
